Cheese Tortellini with Tomatoes and Corn

This was a fabulous dish - the kids, not such big fans! :) It was not a hit in the Connor house that night. Oh well, I enjoyed it and now I have leftovers for a bit. I thought that it would be better as a side dish though, so not sure if I will make it as a main dish again. It's so pretty with all the colors...
